To bear with unbearable sorrow, “The Impossible Dream” showcases Don Quixote’s most treasured To run where the brave dare not go” values throughout his quest: overcoming odds, demonstrating courage, and fighting for what is right. The first time audiences hear the song, Don Quixote is explaining to Dulcinea the importance of his quest; the first reprise follows the capture of Dulcinea by the Muleteers; Dulcinea sings the second reprise to Don Quixote in an effort to trigger his memory of himself; and the prisoners perform the final reprise back in the prison containing Cervantes.

“As everyone knows, it is imperative that a knight shall have a lady— for a knight without a lady is like a body without a soul.” (Man of La Mancha, pg 31)

Joan Diener, the original Dulcinea DULCINEA: “HALF A PRAYER, HALF A SONG” (Image courtesy of wikimedia.org) In Man of La Mancha, Don Quixote renames Aldonza Lorenzo, a peasant woman, Dulcinea. The term dulcinea originates from the original book, Don Quixote. A peasant character who remains unseen in Don Quixote, is renamed Dulcinea del Toboso by Don Quixote and he makes her into his lady. Although she is never seen, Duclinea del Toboso is viewed by Don Quixote as the ideal woman and inspiration for his adventures. Dulcinea is now commonly used to mean mistress or sweetheart. “A lady! The lady Dulcinea. Her beauty is more than human. Her quality? Perfection? She is the very meaning of woman and all meaning woman has to man.” (Man of La Mancha, pg 42) Dulcinea del Toboso (Image(Imageg ccourtesyourtesy of wwikimedia.org)ikimedia.oorgg)

8 Man of La Mancha - PlayGuide 16TH CENTURY SPAIN

Man of La Mancha takes place in the affluent 16th century Spain, when the Spanish Empire controlled territories throughout the world. Known as the Golden Age, paintings, sculptures, architecture, and literature flourished throughout the country. Spanish language developed more intensely after the Renaissance with the creation of dictionaries providing stability to the language. During this time, authors began to incorporate more realism into their stories. In 1478, King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella established The Spanish Inquisition to combat heresy in Spain and maintain the Catholic religion. Many Jews, Muslims, Protestants, and Lutherans fell victim to the brutal methods of the Inquisition. In 1835, Queen Isabella II

abolished the Inquisition in Spain. (Image courtesy of Wikimedia.org) In Man of La Mancha, Miguel de Cervantes is a tax collector that “I made an assessment against must face the Inquisition because he foreclosed on a church. the monastery of La Merced. During The Inquisition, accused heretics remained imprisoned When they refused to pay I for the duration of their trial, which could be years.

They kept (Man of La Mancha, pg 6) the accused isolated and chained in high security prisons where the prisoners could not attend mass or receive the sacraments. Spanish Inquisitors frequently used torture to force a confession from those convicted of heresy. If the accused confessed and “They’ll haul him off—put the admitted to heresy, they were forgiven but required to absolve question to him. Next thing he themselves by performing penances. If the accused did not confess knows—he’s burning!” to committing heresy, they could be sentenced to life imprisonment (Man of La Mancha, pg 64) or burned at the stake.

In Man of La Mancha, the character of Don Quixote exemplifies the qualities and adventures of a knight. During the story, Don Quixote confesses to the innkeeper that he has not been dubbed a knight and requests that the innkeeper dub him a knight in his “castle.” In Medieval Europe, knights were in the noble class as a part of the military order. Spain, England, and Germany each had their own knights and processes to knighthood. The title was often given to those from wealth or status, KNIGHTING CEREMONY/VIGIL but men from the poorer class could prove themselves Known as accolade, or dubbing, the Knighting Ceremony worthy of knighthood by their actions on the battlefield. began with a night vigil in the chapel of the castle, where the Today, knighthood is less widespread, largely due to the squire took part in a ritual bath to cleanse and purify the body. creation of firearms.

Photo by Michael Brosilow Frequently, squires were eligible for knighthood at 21 years old, however it could be rewarded sooner if squires demonstrated bravery on the battlefield. In Man of La Mancha, Sancho is Don Quixote’s squire and he fulfills his role by following Don Quixote on his adventures. When asked by Dulcinea what a squire does, Sancho replies, “Well, I ride behind him and he fights. Then I pick him up off the ground.” (Man of La Mancha, pg. 35)
